| Abstract | |
The birth of a preterm newborn is considered risky for healthy child development. This study was delineated considering the course of the child development, which may suffer interferences by prematurity. This study aimed at investigating and comparing the development of children who were late, very or extremely preterm, and children born at term, with regard to the development in the language, gross motor, adaptive fine motor, social-personal and visual areas, in subjects from 0 to 24 months old. For preterm children, we considered both chronological and corrected ages. The ethical aspects were met. We evaluated 261 children who were born preterm, and 87 children born at term. The experimental procedures were: analysis of records, anamnesis questionnaire answered by caregivers, and application of the Brazilian Economic Classification Criteria. In addition, the Development Screening Test DENVER II and the Early Language Milestone Scale ELM instruments were used. The analyses procedures were carried out by means of the Tukey test, Chi-Square test and Proportions, Independent Sample Tests, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and the Point-Biserial Coefficient of Correlation (level of significance - p<0.05).The results approached the performance in communicative abilities and development by comparing preterm and born at term children. There was a statistically significant difference for the expressive auditory, social-personal, adaptive fine motor, language and gross motor abilities for both chronological and corrected ages. There were no statistically significant differences as for the corrected age criterion and the comparison among the preterm groups considering the assessed abilities. The scores obtained through the criterion of passes or fails indicated that there was a statistically significant difference in the analysis of the percentages for the communicative abilities in the ELM and for the development abilities in the TSDD II among the groups of preterm children and the group of children born at term, considering both chronological and corrected ages. The influence of the risk factors and the gestational age correlated with the performance in the abilities of development for the TSDD II, indicating statistically significant results only for the GP-1.
